...board off of a corner at the 37:15 mark. Berman passed out of the left corner to co-captain Beth Zotter who penetrated near the left side of the net. The ensuing shot was deflected out near the right post, where Totman appeared to punch toward an open net. From out of nowhere, however, Luckenbill made a diving save, as the ball was then kicked away...
...goal in hand, however. Just a minute after Weed's goal the Crimson barely missed extending its lead to two goals. Yenne lofted a long pass to a streaking Totman down the left side of the field. Totman dribbled ahead of two defenders and ripped a shot past Luckenbill toward the right post. Totman's attempt, however, sailed just inches wide...

Earlier this month a prominent judge sentenced a 54-year-old man who had raped...
...East Timor [ESSAY, Sept. 27] is dictated by the importance attached to the transgressor in terms of foreign policy. It seems as if nations such as Russia, China and Indonesia literally get away with murder. By that token, what can be read into the apathy shown toward Africa's humanitarian crises? None of the transgressors can be considered "important" in that context, so why have America and the rest of the world shown scant interest in the suffering of the innocent civilians of Angola, Eritrea, Ethiopia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and other African states?
